Notes

2017-01-20 - Utilized the pipes and chests from the S. R. Warren from St. George's Anglican Church, Montreal, when it was replaced by Casavant Op. 79; two new stops added. In 1906 as Casavant Op. 255, the organ was divided into cases to each side of the gallery, a new console and a 6-stop chancel organ was added; there were some minor tonal changes to the gallery organ. In 1948, Casavant cleaned the organ, revoiced the reeds and enclosed the Positif. In 1962 Casavant cleaned the organ again, converted the organ to electro-pneumatic action, extended the manual and pedal compasses to 61 and 32, added a new console and replaced the Pedal reeds. Restored by Casavant 1999-2000 -Database Manager
